Method Steps
-
Roll out EcoTec Floor-Foam
Starting at one end of the room, roll out the Ecotec FloorFoam to the desired length. We recommend starting in one corner.
-
Cutting the Insulation
When you have reached the desired length, simply cut the EcoTec Floor Foam, with a sharp Knife / Scissors. You can also make a slit in the material for radiator pipes too.
-
Fix the EcoTec Floor-Foam
Then either Staple / Glue / Use Double Sided Tape, to fix the EcoTec Floor-Foam into place. You can also trim any edges as this point to ensure the floor foam is sat comfortably. If using a Glue we recommend to use a Non-Solvent adhesive, as solvents may effect the Foils.
-
Proceed with the Next Layer
Install the next run of EcoTec Floor-Foam and butt the edges. Do not overlap as this will make the floor uneven in places.
-
Tape and Seal Insulation
When the whole floor has been covered with the EcoTec Floor-Foam we recommend to tape and seal the butt joints and across the whole perimeter to ensure a complete seal. This will prevent moisture from rising and also prevent drafts.
-
Laying Carpet?
Fix grippers in to place, over the EcoTec Floor-Foam. This will not impact the performance of the productl. Proceed to install your carpet underlay and cut in to place directly on top of the Floor Foam.
